Chapter 12
Upon hearing Gabriel’s voice, Ava looked up.
Gabriel possessed an ethereal countenance, with finely chiseled features bordering on the otherworldly, captivating the eyes of crowds around him.
Gabriel’s gaze upon Ava was especially eye–catching. It burned with an intensity that could melt a person.
Ava furrowed her brows slightly, wondering why Gabriel was looking at her in such a way
Nevertheless, there was no harm in befriending Gabriel.
Besides, although she had only interacted with Gabriel twice in her previous life, she had heard plenty of rumors about him.
The Anderson family, a prestigious dynasty in Windvale with centuries of heritage, was known for their strict principles.
The Anderson family had an impeccable reputation, involved in various industries, yet remaining low–key
Gabriel was hailed as the Real Gentleman.
Later, she heard that Gabriel was the chosen heir of the Anderson family. There were no family disputes or power struggles over the inheritance
Until the Walker family locked her up, she had never heard any negative rumors or gossip about Gabriel
At this moment, Ava could not understand Gabriel’s gaze.
He stood tall and straight, wearing a black shirt. Due to the slightly hot weather, be casually rolled up the sleeves, revealing his firm and powerful
His shirt was not buttoned up as meticulously as it was yesterday. Instead, two buttons were casually left undone, exposing delicate collarboons Against the backdrop of the black shirt, his skin appeared cold and pale, resembling a polished marble stone
Ava smiled faintly, stood up, and made a gesture of invitation
“Mr. Gabriel Anderson, my pleasure.”
Matthew was astounded.
Upon hearing the title “Mr. Gabriel Anderson, Matthew immediately understood who Gabriel was
In the entire Windvale, there was only one person named Gabriel Anderson. Moreover, Gabriel’s remarkable appearance and demeanor were well- known in high society.
Gabriel unintentionally glanced at him, and Matthew instantly felt an overwhelming pressure.
Meanwhile, Joshua had already pulled out a chair and sat down carelessly, resting his chan on his hand as he looked at Ava
Gabriel naturally took a seat on Ava’s right side.
Ava seemed oblivious to Joshua’s gaze and instead said to Gabriel, “We have already ordered a few dishes. Take a look and let me know if you and Mr. Smith need anything else.”
Under the table, Cabriel kicked Joshua’s foot.
Only then did Joshua snap out of it and reluctantly stand up.
Gabriel’s gaze, at this moment, appeared much softer and gentle, but it remained ford on Ava
Having lived two lifetimes, Ava had encountered many different kinds of gazes. Cruel, cursed, malevolent, resentful, envious. In her past life, she had lived under the weight of those gazes
However, Gabriel’s gaze upon her was so intense, as if he was looking at the most precious treasure in the world. She had never experienced someone looking at her with such eyes.
I left a slight tingling sensation in her heart, as if feathers had lightly brushed across it
She felt a hint of discomfort, but she did not dislike Gabriefs gaze.
Have we met before?”
Still, Ava adjusted her hair slightly and pursed her lips before asking, “Mr. Anderson, why are you looking at me like this i
She searched her memories but could not recall when she had encountered Gabriel in this lifetime. They had just met last night..
Joshua turned his head and saw Gabriel and Ava locked in a gaze, their interaction surprisingly harmonious.

Chapter 12
Shaking off his strange thoughts, he looked at Matthew, who seemed like an oversized third wheel.
After a brief hesitation, Joshua returned to the table and said to Matthew, “Matthew, let’s go order the food together.”
Matthew also felt like he was a third wheel in this situation. He did not know why, but that was just how he feh. Relieved to be called by Joshua, he stood up and said to Gabriel, “Mr. Anderson, I’m Manhew
Gabriel nodded elegantly in Manhew’s direction with an air of indifference.
Matthew left, leaving only the two of them at the table. However, the atmosphere did not feel awkward or uncomfortable
at
Gabriel remained composed as if he had known Ava for a long time.
When Ava asked why he was looking at her like that, Gabriel’s lips curled up into a charming, attractive smile.
Ava could not help but be slightly fascinated.
She liked people with nice smiles, especially when they smiled at her.
This almost obsessive infatuation might have stemmed from the last year of her previous life…
Before her eyes were blinded, she had been confined.
Everyone looked at her with disdain and indifference, without a single friendly face or smile.
Each person’s face was cold as if it had been poisoned.
Gabriel said, “Miss Reynolds, what if I told you I’ve seen you countless times in my dreams?”
Ava was taken aback.
She could not help but wonder if Gabriel was retaliating against her for saying that she had dreamt about them getting into a car accident yesterday.
Ava chuckled and replied, “Mr. Anderson, you have quire the sense of humor
Joshua returned after ordering the food, his lips twitching.
Joshua thought, “Gabriel, humorous? Does that even make sense?”
What shocked him even more, came next
Gabriel said thoughtfully, “Miss Reynolds, you can call me Gabe.”
The fork in Matthew’s hand fell directly onto the table. Joshua, who was taking a sip of tea, sprayed it all over Matthew’s face. Once again, Matthew found himself in an unfortunate situation.
Ava turned her head to look at Cabriel, who was already looking at her. His gaze was gentle, with a hint of amusement in his eyes
Ava was not particularly concerned about what people called each other, so she did not feel any aversion to Gabriel’s suggestion. After all, no matter what she called him, it was all the same to her
Besides, probably only a handful of people could call Gabriel “Gabe.”
She smiled confidently, her eyes twinkling, and said, “Alright, Gabe. Then don’t call me Miss Reynolds. Call me Ava*
“Alright, Ava, Gabriel replied affectionately.
Ava’s hand, holding the cup, slightly stiffened
It had been a long time since someone called her in such an affectionate voice.
In her previous life, they called her bitch, or slut.
She could not quite describe the feeling in her heart.
But the corners of her mouth curved upwards, and in Ava’s eyes, there seemed to be a radiant starlight.
‘Sure.
Gabe,” she said.
Joshua couldn’t understand this strange atmosphere.
The dishes were served, and everyone started rating quietly.
Gabriel’s eating manners were naturally elegant and refined.

Chapter 12
Matthew was around the same age as Ava, only half a month younger, at the growth stage where eating was not a classy affair.
However, seeing Gabriel’s demeanor, his own actions unconsciously slowed down.
Gabriel noticed that Ava was mainly eating meat, barely touching the vegetables
He gently pushed the salad before Ava and said, “Good children shouldn’t be picky eaters
Ava was taken aback; she hadn’t expected Gabriel to call her a “child”
Gabriel glanced at the salad again, urging Awa to devour it
Ava felt speechless.
As someone who never liked eating vegetables, she was now forced to eat several carrots.
Seeing this scene, Joshua could not help but cough a few times to get Gabriel’s attention. He wanted to remind Gabriel that it might not be appropriate to interfere with someone’s eating habits when they had just met.
But despite roughing for a while, Cabriel did not react.
He had no choice but to cough even louder, hoping to catch Gabriel’s attention. Finally, Gabriel looked over. Joshua winked at him and shook his head slowly.
“Josh, what’s wrong with you! Twitching eyes? Unfortunately, Gabriel completely failed to grasp Joshua’s intention.
